Accelerator is a device employing electrostatic or electromagnetic fields to impart kinetic energy to molecular, atomic or sub-atomic particles and, for purposes of this Order, capable of creating a radiological area. b. Accelerator Facility is the accelerator and associated plant and equipment utilizing, or supporting the production of, accelerated particle beams to which access is controlled to protect the safety and health of persons. It includes experimental enclosures and experimental apparatus utilizing the accelerator, regardless of where that apparatus may have been designed, fabricated, or constructed. c. Accelerator Readiness Review is a structured method for verifying that hardware, personnel, and procedures associated with Commissioning or Routine Operation are ready to permit the activity to be undertaken safely. DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 3 d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. Accelerator Safety Envelope is a set of physical and administrative conditions that define the bounding conditions for safe operation at an accelerator facility. Approve means to confirm that a proposed contractor activity has acceptable safety and health implications. Authorize means to give a right to undertake an activity; as applied to contractor activities, this action is reserved for the DOE Contracting Officer. Commissioning is the process of testing an accelerator facility, or portion thereof, to establish the performance characteristics. It starts with the first introduction of a particle beam into the system. Experimenters means all persons directly involved in experimental efforts at the accelerator facility, including visiting scientists, students and others who may not be employees of the operating contractor. Hazard means a source of danger (i.e., material, energy source, or operation) with the potential to cause illness, injury, or death to personnel or damage to a facility or to the environment (without regard for the likelihood of a harmful event occurring or of consequence mitigation). As established in DOE 5481.1B (September 23, 1986), hazards are classified by types and magnitudes as Routinely Accepted, Low, Moderate, and High. Maintenance personnel means not only those in the specialized crafts generally associated with maintenance activities, but also accelerator operations personnel and experimenters to the extent that they undertake to repair, maintain, or improve safety related equipment. Program Secretarial Officer (PSO) is a senior outlay program official and includes: the Assistant Secretaries for Conservation and Renewable Energy; Defense Programs; Environmental Restoration and Waste Management; Fossil Energy; and Nuclear Energy; and the Directors of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management; and Energy Research. Radiological Area means any area requiring posting as a radiation area or an airborne radioactivity area as these terms are defined by the Radiological Control Manual implementing the radiological control requirements of DOE 5480.11. Risk is a quantitative or qualitative expression of possible harm which considers both the probability that a hazard will cause harm and the amount of harm. 4 DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 n. o. p.

q. Routine Operation of an accelerator commences at that point where DOE authorization has been granted either (1) because the Commissioning effort is sufficiently complete to provide confidence that the risks are both understood and acceptable and the operation has appropriate safety bounds, or (2) to permit the re-introduction of a particle beam after being directed to cease operation by DOE because of an environmental, safety, or health concern. Safety Analysis is a documented process to systematically identify the hazards of a given operation; describe and analyze the adequacy of measures taken to eliminate, control, or mitigate the hazards and risks of normal operation; and identify and analyze potential accidents and their associated risks. Safety Assessment Document is the document containing the results of a safety analysis for an accelerator facility pertinent to understanding the risks of the proposed undertaking An Unreviewed Safety Issue exists if a proposed change, modification or experiment will: (1) Significantly increase the probability of occurrence (through reduction in the margin of safety or otherwise) or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety from that evaluated previously by safety analysis; or (2) Introduce an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously by safety analysis which could result in significant safety consequences. 7. RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITIES. a. Program Secretarial Officers (PSOs) shall: (1) Provide written guidance, including oversight, to line management for implementing the requirements of this Order; (2) Designate the hazard class for the accelerator facility; (3) Accept for DOE the risks of operating high-and moderate-hazard accelerator facilities by approving the start of activities upon making the findings specified on page 10, paragraph lla or b; (4) Approve resumption of an activity at an accelerator facility after a PSO-ordered shutdown because of a safety concern, or after a DOE Field Office-ordered shutdown of a high-hazard class facility; (5) Establish, as called for on page 8, paragraph 9e, an independent panel to review the provisions being made for personnel safety and health in the design of the accelerator facility; DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 5 (6) Approve, as deviations to be made by contracting officers to applicable contracts, exemptions from specific provisions of this Order in individual cases when justified by analysis after coordination with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health for approval of any occupational safety and health variance request that is associated with an exemption requested under this Order, and after coordination with the Office of Nuclear Safety for any request involving relief from a nuclear safety requirement that is associated with an exemption requested under this Order; and (7) Inform the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health and the Director of Nuclear Safety of PSO approvals given for accelerator facility activities and of exemptions issued. b.

(2) Advise the responsible PSO on the adequacy of safety documents requiring Headquarters action, based on reviews by Field Office staff of such scope and depth as may be requested by the PSO. (3) Accept for DOE the risks of operating low-hazard accelerator facilities by approving the start of activities upon making the findings specified on page 10, paragraph lla or b. (4) Approve resumption of an activity shut down by the DOE Field Office because of a safety concern (except at high-hazard accelerator facilities, where PSO approval is required) when satisfied that all necessary corrective measures have been taken. (5) Authorize the contractor, when satisfied that the conditions specified on page 11, paragraph llf and/or g, have been met, to commence activities involving Commissioning, Routine Operation, and resumption of an activity ordered stopped by DOE because of a safety concern. (6) Approve Accelerator Safety Envelopes for facilities having only routinely accepted hazards to ensure their operation continues to involve hazards only of that type. (7) Identify to contractors, after consultation with the cognizant PSO, specific types of safety-related documentation to be submitted for DOE’s information as it is generated because of a requirement in this Order. 6 DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 (8) Identify to contractors the appropriate points of contact within the field office for the submission of all safety documentation required to be provided to DOE by this Order. (9) Review and accept for DOE, after consultation with the PSO, the implementation plan required or page 15, paragraph 14. (10) Ensure, for each procurement requiring the application of this Order, that the contracting officer receives a procurement request that: identifies the Order; identifies the specific requirements with which a contractor or other awardee is to comply, or, if this is not practicable. identifies specific paragraphs or other portions of this Order with which a contractor or other awardee is to comply, or, if this is not practicable, identifies specific paragraphs or other portions of this Order with which a contractor or other awardee is to comply; and gives requirements for the flowdown of provisions of this Order to any’ subcontract or subaward. For application to awarded management and operating contracts, this information may be set forth in a written communication to the contracting officer rather than in a procurement request package within 90 days of the date of this Order. c. Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health, acting as the independent element responsible for nonnuclear and occupational safety and health oversight of the line organizations for the Department, shall monitor and audit all aspects of the implementation of this Order related to nonnuclear and occupational safety and health, including line and field organization and contractor performance for these areas. d. The Director, Office of Nuclear Safety, acting as the independent element responsible for nuclear safety oversight of line organizations for the Department, shall monitor and audit all aspects of the implementation of this Order related to nuclear safety, including DOE line and field organization and contractor performance. e. Authorities assigned in paragraphs 7a and b above can be delegated to persons under the direct control of the responsible official provided this is done in writing and specifies the extent of redelegation permitted.

8. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. a. This Order does not supersede other safety and health Orders that are contractually imposed on a contractor’s nonnuclear activities. b. Each accelerator facility shall be assigned a hazard class using the guidance on classes and their categorization provided in DOE 5481.1B. 7DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 c. d. e. f. g. h.

Activities shall not be performed that involve an Unreviewed Safety Issue. Only trained and qualified individuals shall be assigned to perform tasks which could affect safety and health conditions at the facility. The specific requirements of this Order shall be implemented through a graded approach that recognizes that the measures put in place are to be commensurate with the magnitudes of the hazards being protected against. Proposed exemptions from any requirement of this Order shall be justified in the Safety Assessment Document. 9. ACCELERATOR FACILITY DESIGN AND OPERATION REQUIREMENTS. a. Each accelerator facility shall have a reasoned combination of active, passive, and administrative measures appropriately designed and used to: (1) Maintain personnel exposure to prompt ionizing radiation well below radiological standards and as low as reasonably achievable; and (2) Permit bypassing in whole or in part only by means that are stringently controlled. b. The operator of each accelerator facility shall be required to document and implement a plan for control of access to the facility during Commissioning, during operations, and while non-operational. c. To provide for the protection of personnel, the contractor shall be required at each accelerator facility to: (1) Use physical barriers and/or radiation detectors, interlocked with the particle beam or other protective features as feasible, to prevent exposure of personnel in excess of the most current DOE standards for ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and other injurious environments. (2) Escort all persons entering the facility unless they have received those portions of the general safety orientation (see page 12, paragraph 12a(l)) and facility-specific training (see page 13, paragraphs 12b-d) necessary to ensure they can safely accomplish their missions. 8 DOE 5480.25 11-3-92 d. e. f. g. h. (3) (4) (5) (6) The Have a written statement of it., shielding policy for ionizing and non- ionizing radiation. Have a documented personnel dosimetry program, as required by DOE 5480.11, which follows the practices specified in DOE’s Radiological Control Manual, and which specifically addresses those radiations and energies encountered in facility operation that are not covered by DOE 5480.15. Characterize, post, periodically monitor, and document the hazardous environments in and around the facility. Determine and document the adequacy of the shielding and other components of the personnel protection system prior to initial use, and after significant modifications. This requirement shall include the capability of the system to handle the effects of errant particle beams and physical interceptions of the beam.

contractor shall be required to submit to DOE a hazard class determination evaluation Of the accelerator facility, or any module thereof, that is suitable for DOE’s deliberations leading to a designation of the hazard class of the proposed operation. This evaluation is to be submitted as early as feasible in the design phase. An independent review of the provisions for personnel safety and health shall be conducted by a DOE-appointed ad hoc panel of technical experts during the design phase of each new accelerator facility of moderate- or high-hazard class, and during the design of significant modifications to all existing accelerator facilities. Such reviews do not relieve the contractor of its responsibilities on page 14, paragraph 13a(5). Accelerators shall be required to be operated in accordance with written procedures that cover activities that could adversely affect the safety and health of persons or the safe operation of equipment. The procedures shall be kept current. and shall be approved by the most senior line manager in the contractor’s organization who has knowledge of the day-to-day operation of the accelerator The procedures shall be critically reviewed prior to approval, and at intervals not to exceed 3 years thereafter to reaffirm their continued validity. Routine Operation of accelerators shall be executed only by trained and qualified operators, or by trainees under the direct supervision of a qualified operator. During Commissioning of an accelerator and during development programs employing an accelerator, the particle beam shall be controlled only by trained and qualified operators or duly designated accelerator specialists and physicists. DOE 5480.25 9 11-3-92 i. Experimenters at accelerator facilities shall be required to adhere to written and approved safety procedures appropriate to address the environmental, safety and health concerns identified by a safety analysis. These safety procedures shall be approved by designated senior managers in the accelerator operating organization and the research organization, and shall be reviewed annually to reaffirm their continued validity. j. Accelerator development programs that have a potential to exceed the approved Accelerator Safety Envelope shall be permitted only after a review conducted and documented by the contractor has found the proposed safety and health precautions to be taken during the development activities are adequate, and an exemption from specific requirements of this Order has been issued by the responsible PSO as provided on page 5, paragraph 7a(6). 10. SAFETY ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS. a. b. c. d. e. f. The contractor shall be required to fulfill the DOE 5481.1B requirement for documented safety analysis by preparing Safety Assessment Documents for accelerator facilities. The entire facility can be addressed in one document, or in several covering discrete modules. Those documents shall contain sufficient descriptive information and analytical results pertaining to specific hazards and risks identified during the safety analysis process to provide an understanding of risks presented by the proposed operation, with attention to egress, cryogenic, and electrical issues. Where the risks of operating an accelerator facility are adequately addressed in the documented safety analysis of another operation because of its integrated contribution to that operation, a separate Safety Assessment Document shall not be required.

The contractor shall be required to submit the Safety Assessment Document to the cognizant DOE Field Office Manager to support its request for DOE authorization to initiate Commissioning. The contractor shall be required to derive Accelerator Safety Envelope(s), based on the safety analysis, within which the contractor proposes to constrain the operational, developmental, and experimental activities. The contractor shall be instructed to submit the Safety Assessment Document and Accelerator Safety Envelope(s) to DOE only after the contractor has considered the comments generated by it’s internal safety review system.
